Use of Facebook social plug‐ins

Our internet site utilises social plug‐ins ("plug‐ins") from the social network Facebook.com, operated by Facebook Inc.,1601 S. California Ave, Palo Alto, CA 94304, USA ("Facebook"). The plug‐ins are recognisable by the Facebook logo (white "f" on a blue background or a "thumbs up" symbol) or are labelled "Facebook social plug‐in". The lists and the appearance of the Facebook social plug‐ins can be viewed here: http://developers.facebook.com/plugins.If you access a page of our internet site that contains such a plug‐in, then your browser establishes a direct connection to the servers of Facebook. The content of the plug‐ins is transferred by Facebook directly to your browser and from there integrated into the website. We consequently have no influence over the scope of the data that Facebook collects with the aid of this plug‐in and are therefore informing you to the extent of our knowledge. With the inclusion of the plug‐ins Facebook receives the information that you have accessed the corresponding page on our internet site. If you are logged on to Facebook, Facebook can allocate the visit to your Facebook account. If you interact with the plug‐ins, for example by clicking the Like button or leaving a comment, then the corresponding information will be transferred from your browser directly to Facebook and stored there. If you are not a member of Facebook, it is still possible for Facebook to learn your IP address and store this. Please see the data protection notice of Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/policy.php, to learn the purpose and scope of the data collection and further processing and use of the data by Facebook, together with your rights and setting options for protection of your privacy. If you are a Facebook member and do not wish Facebook to collect information about you via our internet site and link this to your data stored at Facebook, then you must log out of Facebook prior to visiting our site. It is also possible to block Facebook social plug‐ins with add‐ons for your browser, for example with the "Facebook Blocker".
